‘Castle Crashers’ Making Its Way to Steam

According to their developer blog, The Behemoth has just announced that their hit XBLA/PSN release, Castle Crashers, will be heading towards Valve’s Steam store in the near future. As of now, there is no specific release date, and according to a whimsical rhyme by Dan Paladin, the game’s chief developer, “I’d say a release date but the future’s unknown. If I make a mistake I shall never atone.”
